Orbbec Astra, Astra S & Astra Pro

Astra is a powerful and reliable standalone 3D camera includes our proprietary Orbbec 3D microchip and VGA color. It has the same superior depth resolution and fast performance as Astra Pro.

There is also a short-range version of this camera: Astra S. It shares the same appearance, size, and weight as the Astra; the difference is that Astra S is optimized for short-range uses, including 3D scanning, face recognition, short range interactive systems, and more.

Extreme Compatibility

Astra and Astra S were developed to be highly compatible with existing OpenNI applications, making both 3D cameras ideal for pre-existing apps that were built with OpenNI. Astra S has a 0.4- to 2-meter range, while Astra has a 0.6- to 8-meter range. (See full technical specs for both below.)

Astra 3D cameras are excellent for a wide range of scenarios, including gesture control, robotics, 3D scanning, and point cloud development.

Astra and Astra S are already in market. Innovative businesses worldwide have adopted Astra and Astra S for use with their existing OpenNI solutions.

Which 3D camera is right for you?

We have short- and long-range versions of Astra and a long-range version of Astra Pro. The one that’s right for you depends on your usage plans. The size, weight, and external casing of the cameras are the same, and both Astra and Astra Pro include the same 3D chip and 3D depth sensor.

The primary differences between the cameras are that Astra Pro includes a 720p@ 30 frames-per-second 2D color camera, while the Astra includes a VGA @ 30 frames-per-second 2D color camera.

Additionally, Astra was developed to be highly compatible with existing OpenNI applications—making it the ideal camera for pre-existing apps that were built with OpenNI.

Short-range version of Astra S has a 0.4- to 2-meter tracking range, compared to Astra and Astra Pro long-range cameras that have a 0.6- to 8-meter range. You can see full technical specs for Astra and Astra S below.
